    Body and Beyond 3
    Scientific and Spiritual Perspectives on the Subtle Body
    Prof Carlos Alvarado, Dr Edi Bilimoria, Sandie Gustus, Prof David Huffield, Prof Geoffrey Samuel

    Following our highly successful 2010 conference on Mind as Healer, Mind as Destroyer, we are turning our attention this year to the nature and interpretation of the subtle body. Conventional science recognises only the physical body, but there are many indications from our own experiences and from spiritual traditions of the existence of one or more subtle bodies interpenetrating the physical. Our speakers will address various aspects of this vital topic. Professor Carlos Alvarado is an expert in the history of psychical research and will explore the concept of the ‘double’ in apparitions and OBEs, while Professor David Hufford will discuss the concept of the subtle body in NDEs, after-death contacts and sleep paralysis. Professor Geoffrey Samuel will compare Eastern and Western views on the subtle body, while Dr. Edi Bilimoria will describe Theosophical models and their implications for our sense of self. Sandie Gustus will focus on experiential aspects of the subtle body and describe a new model of consciousness and reality which is able to accommodate them rather than explain them away.
